DESCRIPTION

Caption on reverse [translation]: "With the Scent of 'Takeo' Dancing in Her Breast - The Tragic Miss Tilda Enters Tokyo - (Tokyo) June 28, 1937. Tilda Matilda, the 'heroine of love' who spent a miserable youth on the lakeside in Schaffhausen, Switzerland with the face of now deceased 'passionate author' Takeo Arishima hidden in her breast, an unresolved [?] international love of 21 years, entered Tokyo at 9 p.m. on the 27th with Tsuneo Yamada and his wife. They were met at the platform by Arishima's relatives, including his son Masayuki (26), his younger brothers Ryuzo Sato and Yukio Arishima, his younger sister Aiko Yamamoto, and his sister-in-law Nobuko (Ikuma Arishima's wife).

The 52 year old Tilda's cheeks became pink like those of a young girl upon seeing that so much time had passed that the innocent orphan Masayuki who appeared in 'To the Small' [one of Arishima's works] had become an impressive young man teaching French literature at Tokyo Imperial University. Photograph: 1. (from left) Nobuko Arishima, Tilda, Aiko Yamamoto."
